RICE FIELDS
Submerged bv Gulf Water For q Dis
lance Of Thirty Miles.

New ORLEANS, La, June 1.-The
Times-DemOcrat's Pointe u Ia Hache
special says: The brisk east wind of
the past four days has driven the gull
water up submerging all rice fields
from this point to the quarantine sta
ton, distance OF about thirty miles.
This would cause not the slightest dam
age If the water was fresh, but the I'M
fortunate part of the present situation
is that tho inundatiOn is entirely from
the salt guilt wafer. The wind driving
it before has piled the gulf water over
vast seamarches aud forces it inland
up as far as La Chinche, in st. Bernard
parish, and along the east bank Of the
river to this point. The damage can,
not be estimated, but if bright sun
shine follows, tho subsistence of the
flood then, not a head Of rice will be
made for thirty miles along the east
bank of the Mississippi. A very heavy
rainfall just after the flood goes down
might washout "A large percentage OF
the salt left by the sea water, but il
sunshine comes the salt will be crystal
lied and vegetation killed by it. The
water at Shell Beach is very high, but
no serioas damage is reported these.

THEY ARE COMING,

There is just now great rush OF
emigration from Europe 30 the United
States caused by the early prospect Of
war in France and Germany, aud the
general depression of business which
exists all over the European countries.
On the 11th of May twelve steamships
discharged about ten thousand immi-
grants at New York, and they are
coming in every transatlantic steamer.
The delivery recorded above is the
greatest number of foreigners ever
landed on these shores in one day since
the close of the Revolutionary war.
The largest record previous to this is
for a single day in 1872 when 700 souls
arrived there. The great showing was
due to combination OF circumstances,
chief of which was the weather, by
which overdue steamships came in " 18th
those that were on time.
This inmi grafton business is be-
coming serious in the light OF the
present condition of the labor market.
In most of the great industrial CEN t., S
the record of strikes is only varied by
the record of lockouts. Apparently
there is already an oversupply of labor
in the country, but it is not likely that
there will be any movement to check
this foreign influx OF people. This is
the asylum for the poor, tho oppressed
and the needy Of all nations except
China. There the line is drawn and
pity plays out.-N. o. Picaynn,c.

4 f,'opos Of Acknowledgement Cum
ningham's presence in Monroe this
week, It Is stated that he is a candidate
for governor and Is not too modest to
say SO. Perhaps the General does not
know it, but it is true that there are
scores OF good men in Ouachita parish
who would raise shout that would
cleave the kies, If he should receive the
nomination. They believe him to be
capable and honest, and above all, to
possess that other requisite without
which the first too are naught, to wit,
the unfaltering courage to carry out that
policy which his Judgment shall affirm,
and his convictions of duty shall diet
ate. The opinion has become wide
spread that he is such Il man. Let his
future official life but justify this opin-
ion, and there will need to be no cam
paignins in aid of his candidacy. The
Telegraph has heretofore announced lis
adhesion, for the approaching contest, to
the fortunes of Judge Moncure, and it
will continue TO give him II dignitied
and consistent support, but it may not
be out Of place at this time to let il be
known that we are welded - no man.
Our warfare is upon vicious aud irres-
nonsible government, to the end that
an honest, capable and benefcent adj
ministration of public affairs may be
secured.
We sh9il not be dissatisfied if the
people of Louisiana, in their wisdom
and sovereignty, elect TO put upon the
sturdy shoulders of Attorney-General
Cunningham the duties of the chief
magistracy.

1t has been stated in connection with
the "Railand grab" that Col. Lott, OF
West Carroll, made personal and con-
tinuous efforts to ascertain the amount
of the 10th section fund due his parish,
and finding himself unequal 10 the
task, gave it up in despair, and reIe-
gated the whole matter to Mr.. Rut-
land.
Col. Lofts capacity and integrity are
we'll known and generally recognized,
and his assumed failure to fix and col
lect the fund for West Carroll, is cited
AS proof conclusive of the imperative
necessity for engaging the services of
an expert, and also OF the value of
those services.
We commend TO those who are in
iercsted in this matter the perusal of
the letter contributed to these columns
this week by "Justice," who is we'll.
known citizen Of West Carroll parish.
1t would seem that Mr.. Rutland did
nothing for that parish except to collect
the money and retain his fee.

tits thought in Washington that the
vacant place on the Supreme Court is
at the command OF Secretary Lamar.
The appointment Of Mr.. Lamar would
undoubtedly give more general and
universal satisfaction than any the
President could make. 1t is true that
there are special reasons why the new
appointee should come from Louisiana;
but these arc reasons in which few
people outside of this State have any
interest. 1t Is more than probable,
therefore, that they will not prevail
with the President. Mr.. Lamar is a
man Of great and accurate learning,
and though his mind inclines to philos-
ophy rather than TO law, yet he is q
good lawyer, and possesses the temper
ament needed in a judge. II Louisiana
can not get Semmes or Fenner, she
will rejoice with Mississippi.

pressions Of approval ZONES! l.. o, ,a..
sources. AS sample of these We pub
lish in another column letter from
"Jack." But it is not 10 be lost sight
of that there are gentlemen in Ouachi,
ia parish who do not endorse the course
Of the Telegraph, and who cordially
dissent from the sentiments hereto
fore expressed in these columns, on the
subject under consideration.
To both these differing and war,
ring elements We desire to say just Il
few words. The right of men to com.
bine for the accomplishment of all
legitimate purposes, is recognized the
world over. They may consolidate
their money; they may unite their
intelligence and labor, or they may
combine their influence. There is
nothing wrong in all this. From the
very dawn of intelligence il is dinncd
into the ears of American youth that
Gin unity there is strength"
The great truth is illustrated by
fable, emphasized by government, and
demonstrated by the giant strides of
latter day material progress and de.
veiopment. This union ofthe elements
of power and success is generally con-
sidered 10 be an eminentIy proper
thing. We say generally, because
there is one conspicuous exception.
If, III practical politics, men come
together upon common ground, for a
common purpose, and succeed, it is the
fashion 10 denounce them as RING
and the other fellows are 4efo1n1crs OF
the PEOPLE. We announce without
the slightest fear of contradiction, thai
no political combination that failed Of
success was ever called ring. No,
rings don't fail; they always succeed,
and it is the fact of success that makes
the ring.
Let il be understood here and now
that we have no sort of sympathy
WASA VIC "ull uDouI Tugs.
We rather like rings; SO much so, in
deed, that we cherish purpose to
form ono ourselves, get right in the
middle of it, and sit there calm, I'M
ruffled and serene in the consciousness
that in all the essentials of man and
citizen, we are as good as any without
| itI parinhor<y haiS l,ot
graph thinks about rings. But we can
not go any further in this line.
We connot endorse the methods OF
the men who compose the sc-calle<l
ring Of Ouachita parish.
Let the purpose be legitimate and
the means of accomplishing it such as
the moral sense of mankind will an.
prove, aud there can be no possible
objection to any ring.
But it is notorious, that in this
plague-stricken and boss parish,
the mass of the intelligent white men
have no more to do with the direction
and management Of public affairs than
ment upon the hills and valleys laid
waste by their reign of violence and
terror.
This is fact. Why is it so: In
future issues the Telegraph will seel;
to answer this question, and point out
a remedy for the evils complained of.

HOT COFFEE.
4 FIustcr in the Coffee Trade Over the
Reccnt Deal III New York-The
Effect on the New Orleans Trade
Not n Single Bag Sold Yesterday,

Not q Single Bag Sold Yesterday.
Ono of the principal topics of inquiry
in the city yesterday was relative to
the effect OF the great coffee deal at
New York on the New Orleans coffee
market.
The market here yesterday was very
quiet. Not single bag of coffee Was
sold.
Why?
Because dealers did not desire to
sell, contenting themselves with hold
ing the little stock they have on hand
to await higher prices. This shows
that the idea prevails here among the
importers, brokers and others inter-
ested i'll the coffee trade that the article
has not yet reached top figures.
San Francisco also entertains fears OF
a still higher raise in prices.
SAN FRANCISCO WANTS COFFEE,
Just after the market closed las I
evening, one of the largest houses in
the City of San Francisco wired u large
coffee broker here thus: "Ship three
carloads at lowest figures"
A Times- Democrat reporter Wns
present when the broker received this
dispatch, and he showed it to several
extensive importers, with the inquiry
whether or not they desired TO fill the
order. No ono cared to make the
sale. They all smiled and at once
concluded, and so expressed themselves
that San Francisco feared that prices
were going up.
THE WHOLE TRADE INTERESTED.
Yesterday morning New Orleans
importin. firm received the following
telegram from Arnold & Co. at New
York:
Opened nearly cent higher. All
the few settlements with us on yester-
days average will probably be sold, as
they make great profits. private

bly, higher. Arnold Il Co.

The Ouachi,a Telegraph closes an
article, in its last weeks issue, in tho
following language:
We domanu for tho people of OuacLita
parish, aye, and Of tho whole State OF
Louisiana, white man suflrage.
Good government demands it,
Public virtue demands it.
II is tho Imperative demand of every in
toreSt OF the State and Individual.
1t cannot be questioned, it will not be
denied. it is conceded on all Sides that the
politics OF this parish arc TO day dominated.
by u mass of ignorance and servilitv in the
hands ofmen who WELD it for their pur-
poses.
1t should not be so. The fact is humilia
ting.
It is degrading TO tho manhood of the
people who submit tn it.
1t can not, and will not, and must not
endure!
Let the upheaval come,
We were not aware that it was con.
coded that the politics of Ouachita are
"dominated by n mass of ignorance
and scrvility." On tho other hand
we We're OF tho opinion that in the
CONTROLLING element of the Democrat,
party in Ouachita parish were the
best politicians in the State. If Tho
measure Of the politician be success
and il policy means politics; the
leading Democrats of Ouachita parish
certainly deserve to be cIassed among
the way back Democrsts.-Gaze1c
So iamentabie construction of piair
English rs is evinced here, is only con
sistent with sIovenly and careless read
ing.
An intelligent editor could not de
liherat.ly fall into SO huge n hlunder.
The politicians of Ouachi,a parish
whatever else may be said of them, are
neither ''ignorant nor servilr."
We did not intend to SO characterize
them, and did not do so. On the con-
trary, they are shrewd, far.seeing and
calculating. They stop Tor no sort oi
obstacles. They are full of energy,
pluck and determination.
What we charged, and what We here
repent, is that the source Of their power
aud influence is traceable TO their mas
terry over ''mass Of Ignorance and
servility."
Is this plain enough?

DIsAPPEARANCE OF LLOYD W. BINGHAM WITH 500
Lloyd w. Bingham, handsome young widowef
Of twenty-three years, lived with his daughter and
his mother at the house OF DIR. George s. Little, No.
25 Duryea street. Brooklyn, until December ID,
when he suddenly and myster1ously disappeared
After the lapse OF two days young Bingham's en-
ployers, Wood Sellick, OF No. 80 Jay street, New
York appeared at DIR. Little's house and explained
that their clerk had disappeared with e700 which
he had collected for them. Mrs. Bingham, who
was at Lakewood. n. j., was communicated with,
and at once agreed 10 make good any shortage IN
her sons accounts He had caused her trouble be-
fore, she explained, but not in q financial sense.
AT the age OF eighteen he had run on with and
married school girl OF sixteen and had concealed
the fact from his family for two years. lutte
over year ago his wife died, and since then his
mother has cared for his child. Since his disap-
pearance a thorough search has been made for
Bingham but without success. Mrs. Bingham has
an idea that the unknown man who committed
suicide by jumping on the bridge at Niagara Falls
two weeks ago was her son.

Bismarck's Fight for the Army hill.
THE GOVERNMENTS FRIENDS DESPAIR OF IT'S ApoP

In the debate on the army bill in the German
reichstag yesterday DR.. Windthorst again spoke
In favor OF trfeinnate term. Prince Bismarck re-
minded the reichstag that in three years the coun
try might be confronted by altered circumstances:
political parties In the reichstag might undergo
further disintegration. Continuing, he said: AT
the time when so many rights and privileges were
granted TO the reichstag by the constitution there
was no idea that they would lead TO such misera-
BILE disputes as have arisen"
In speaking or the imperial army the chancellor
said he had no intention 10 detract from the rights
OF the soveregns OF the federal states the heads
or their respective armies. Nor, he continued
would the government contest the right OF the
house TO crticise the bill during the debate the
budgets, provided the governments proposals
were now accepted. Referring TO the question OF
the working classes he declared that the govern
ment did not wish TO drag it into the present dis
cusSton. He was sure that IL called upon by the
emperor the worktngmen OF Germany would be
ready at all times TO come forward In defense OF
fatherland. In concluding, he again assured the
house that he would not abandon a hair-breadth
Of the bill and must insist upon the full scope OF
the measure.
Prince Bismarck has long daily conferences with
the emperor with reference TO the position or the
refchstag. In government circles IL is believed
that division on the bill will be taken to-day.
The governments supporters despair OF the pass
age OF the measure.
